The Hurry up Blues

[Crunked]

Rhyme it in 4 part harmony, if you can...

 

Oh Colts, Oh Colts,

What team will show

The one at  the niners

or the one that blows?

 

We so badly want

to run that rock

but with Satele at center

the pathways  blocked

 

Andrew grooves

when in hurry up

but we plod along

lets speed it up

 

so now I've coached

for all to see

lets beat the Broncos

I feel the need!

Lol, good one! And yes, take the chains off Luck. Let him be more free to call/change plays

Sing to me baby!  I really like this song. 

[Insert Colts Pun Here]

Here's how I think (or rather hope) the game will go, in the form of a poem:

 

It's Prime-time this Monday and Manning's come home,

With 2k yards, 22 touchdowns thrown.

On pace for history's most productive year,

But the path to the record books stops right here.

 

Indy will win the toss and defer,

Allowing Denver to put their points up first.

But Ryan and Chuck have observed and they’ve learned,

The Broncos always score at the start of the third.

 

A touchdown behind is scary to some,

But not to Pep H, he’ll rely on the run

To drive down the field and reply keenly with zest

T-Rich with the rush, and one of his best!

 

So Manning takes over possession once more,

His audibles drowned out by the Lucas Oil roar.

Calm and collected until now was this vet.,

But he hasn’t faced a D like this yet!

 

In tight press man the corners will shine,

Whether in the base package, nickel or dime.

Those 2 interceptions will double up quick,

One change of possession, one crazy pick six.

 

But every mistake that Manning has made,

Has been cancelled out by another good play.

A touchdown to Thomas and Decker and Wes,

Puts Denver ahead, so the scoreboard says.

 

Luck chips away at the score on his own,

Scrambling out of the pocket and into the end zone.

On the next drive the D makes things harder,

A.V bringing it close with a 42 yarder.

 

With the game on the line and silence in the stands,

The Colt’s new general holds the ball in his hands.

A glance at the board will tell him the score,

Just 4 points between them, it’s 28-24.

 

With 40 yards to go on the game’s final drive,

Andrew’s hard snap count catches Knighton offside.

Just 5 yards to go now to pick up the first,

T-Rich finds the gap and through it he bursts.

 

The ball still inbounds, once more the clock ticks,

There’s still time to win, it shows 1:26.

But Chuck and Pep have a little something in mind,

They call a timeout and take Luck to one side.

 

As the words of his coach still sound in his ears,

Number 12 snaps the ball and buries his fears.

He goes to his first read, pump fakes and then stops,

He turns left to Reggie who began in the slot.

 

As if in slow motion, Wayne runs his route,

Each step is perfection and the throw follows suit.

The ball nuzzles in between the 8 and the 9,

Corralled by his hands with no break in his stride.

 

Down to the 5 then the 4 and the 3,

The crowd is more happy than it wished it could be.

Down past the 2 and over the 1,

It all comes together and the Broncos are undone.

 

“We still love you Peyton but we had to move on”,

The Colts fans both joyous and sombre at once.

“This year, you’ll see, we’ll go all the way,

And beat you again in the AFC championship game”.
